Per rule 10 g), any GM can add a free agent for the purpose of completing a trade. This rule is potentially subject to abuse where one or both GMs involved in a trade attempt to acquire free agents, which are normally limited to two per year, while trading worthless players. Not that any of you would try that. Regardless, here are some guidelines to screen your own trades before you send them to the Commissioner for approval.
a) there must be at least one roster player moving in each direction.
b) there must be more roster players moving than free agents. Not an equal number... more.
c) both GMs must be aware of any free agents to be acquired before submitting the trade for approval.
Meeting all of these guidelines does not necessarily mean your trade will be approved. Failing to meet one of these guidelines very likely means your trade will be rejected.
The trade and free agent pickup deadline is February 28. After that, we will revisit the issue.
